The last decade has seen rapid growth in the study of human life history strategies, with advances to theory, increasingly sophisticated research designs, and innovative new tools now being at the disposal of researchers. Contemporary evolutionary psychology suggests there should be variation in biological and psychological traits attributable to differences between the sexes. We review theory underpinning sex differences in evolutionarily adaptive behaviors and then outline the developmental stages and behaviors pertinent to life history strategies that could be subject to these differences. We then review contemporary work that has examined sex in relation to these domains and end with recommendations for future research agendas. We conclude that future work needs to consider sex more comprehensively (studying the sexes separately when necessary) when evaluating measures and models designed to tackle important life history research questions.

研究社会心理生活史指标中的性别差异

在过去的十年中，人类生命历史策略的研究迅速增长，理论的发展，日益完善的研究设计以及创新的新工具可供研究人员使用。当代的进化心理学表明，由于性别差异，生物学和心理特征应该存在差异。我们回顾了在进化适应性行为中支持性别差异的理论，然后概述了可能与这些差异相关的生活史策略的发展阶段和行为。然后，我们回顾了研究与这些领域相关的性的当代工作，并为以后的研究议程提供了建议。
